Custom Snore Guards in Sunnyvale, CA

Quiet Your Nights with Comfortable, Dentist-Made Snore Relief

Snoring can do more than disrupt your sleep—it can affect your health, relationships, and quality of life. At Harmony Smile Dental, we offer custom-fit snore guards designed to reduce nighttime airway obstruction and help you (and your loved ones) sleep more peacefully.

Whether you’re dealing with persistent snoring or suspect you may have mild sleep apnea, Dr. Ryan Zhao provides non-invasive, dentist-guided solutions tailored to your needs.

Why Am I Snoring?

Snoring is typically caused by a narrowing of the airway during sleep, which leads to vibration of the soft tissues in the throat. While occasional snoring isn’t usually a concern, chronic snoring can be a sign of restricted airflow or interrupted breathing.

Common contributing factors include:

• Tongue position and jaw misalignment
• Obstructed nasal passages
• Mouth breathing
• Obesity or enlarged tonsils
• Sleep position (especially back sleeping)

Our Sunnyvale dental office uses advanced diagnostics—including digital X-rays and panoramic scans—to assess airway structure and determine whether a custom snore guard is right for you.

How a Dental Snore Guard Works

Snore guards are oral appliances that reposition the lower jaw slightly forward while you sleep. This small change helps keep the airway open and reduces the vibration that causes snoring. The appliances are:

• Compact and easy to wear
• Custom-made for a precise, secure fit
• Non-invasive and adjustable
• Quiet and travel-friendly

Unlike store-bought options, professional snore guards are fabricated using precise digital scans—such as those from our in-house iTero scanner—for long-term comfort and effectiveness.

Who Should Consider a Snore Guard?

A custom snore guard may be an excellent option if you:

• Snore consistently, regardless of sleep position
• Wake up with a dry mouth or sore throat
• Experience disrupted sleep or daytime fatigue
• Want to avoid bulky CPAP machines or surgical options
• Have been told by a partner that your snoring is disruptive

If you’ve also noticed symptoms like grinding your teeth at night, ask about our bruxism treatment, which can be combined with sleep appliance therapy when needed.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

During your visit, Dr. Zhao will perform a thorough oral and airway evaluation, review your health history, and discuss your symptoms. If a snore guard is appropriate, we’ll take a comfortable digital impression and send it to our lab to craft your custom device.

Once your appliance is ready, we’ll ensure it fits properly and go over how to use and clean it. Most patients notice a difference within the first few nights of consistent use.
